Newborn twins found abandoned in shopping bag in Gujrat, mother traced

A disturbing incident involving newborn twins abandoned in Gujrat has been reported from the Madina Syedan area within the jurisdiction of Sadar Gujrat Police Station.

GUJRAT: A disturbing incident involving newborn twins abandoned in Gujrat has been reported from the Madina Syedan area within the jurisdiction of Sadar Gujrat Police Station.

According to rescue officials, a newborn baby boy and girl were found after allegedly being abandoned inside a shopping bag. The infants were subsequently handed over to Child Protection Gujranwala for care and protection.

Doctors who examined the newborn twins said that both babies were in good health. The children are now under the supervision of the relevant child protection authorities as further arrangements are being made for their care.

Police have reportedly traced the woman believed to be the mother of the newborn twins. She is currently under police custody while receiving treatment at a hospital.

Authorities have initiated legal proceedings against the woman, while investigators are working to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

According to police sources, the initial investigation suggests that the woman’s husband had contracted another marriage. Police sources said the alleged abandonment of the twins may have been linked to the distress caused by the second marriage.

The reported motive remains part of the preliminary investigation, and authorities are expected to gather further evidence before reaching a final conclusion about what led to the incident.

The case has drawn attention to concerns surrounding the safety and protection of newborn children. Child protection authorities are currently responsible for the welfare of the two infants following their recovery.

The newborn twins abandoned in Gujrat were reportedly found in a vulnerable situation, but rescue officials said both children were healthy when they were transferred to the child protection authorities.

Police are continuing their investigation and are expected to determine the full circumstances of the case, including how and when the babies were abandoned and whether any other individuals were involved.

The incident also highlights the importance of timely intervention by rescue services and child protection institutions in cases involving abandoned or vulnerable children.

Further legal action against the woman will depend on the findings of the ongoing investigation and the evidence collected by police.

Authorities have not indicated that the investigation has concluded, and the reported reason for the abandonment should therefore be treated as an initial finding rather than an established fact.
